What we measure — and why it matters

Most caravanners have never weighed their loaded rig, and a surprising number are over on at least one number. Our calibrated scales measure everything that matters:

  • Caravan ATM — total loaded weight of the van
  • Tow vehicle GVM — loaded weight including passengers and ball load
  • GCM — the combined weight your vehicle is rated to move
  • Ball weight — the number that makes or breaks towing stability
  • Axle and individual wheel weights to spot loading imbalances
  • Detailed written report with your limits vs. actuals, in plain English
Why it matters

Three reasons to weigh your rig

Legal

Exceed your ATM, GVM or GCM and you're unroadworthy — fines apply, and in a serious incident, liability follows.

Insured

Insurers can deny claims on overweight rigs. A weigh report is cheap insurance for your insurance.

Stable

Ball weight in the right range is the difference between a van that tracks true and one that snakes at 95 km/h.

Good to know

Common questions

Should I bring the van loaded?

Yes — loaded exactly as you'd travel: water, gas, food, bikes, the lot. That's the only weight that matters legally.

How long does a weigh take?

Around 45–60 minutes for a full car-and-van weigh with hitched and unhitched measurements, plus your report.

What if I'm overweight?

We'll show you exactly where the weight is and give practical options — repacking, water management, or upgrade paths. No lectures, just fixes.

Do you do mobile weighing?

Yes — through RV NOW our team can weigh your rig at home or at your storage yard. Ask when you book.
